Name Al Gore’s hugetastic boat!

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 6, 2008 10:11 AM

Barack Obama wants us all to turn down our thermostats, get rid of our SUVs, and monitor each other’s tire pressure to conserve energy and rescue the planet. How about going after the lavish consumption of his fellow purported eco-warriors?

Let’s start with Green Messiah Al Gore’s massive boat outside Nashville. It’s docked at Hurricane Marina on Center Hill Lake in Smithville, about an hour east of Nashville.

Steve Gill has the goods on Gore’s “Bio-Solar One”–which is supposed to be environmentally acceptable because it’s biodiesel-fueled and solar-powered.

Only, it didn’t have the solar panels until local whistleblowers called attention to it (his spokespeople now say the panels will be installed today) and has instead been plugged in, “sucking a lot of energy from the ‘evil’ energy companies,” as Gill points out:

How many conscience-easing carbon offsets do you think this behemoth will need?

I hear there’s a bumper sticker on the back of it that says “My other boat is a sailboat. Trust me.”

Contest time: Name Gore’s boat.

My suggestion: H.M.S. Eco-hypocrisy.

All aboard.

***

Commenter lawbwrs: “It’s official name is ‘Bio-Solar One’..yes.. he named his boat “BS1″! We CAN[']T do better than that!”

***

Update: Steve Gill has more at PJM.

    How gigantic of a carbon footprint did it take to build the damn thing?

    It had to be made from fiberglass moldings, the engines have forged steel and aluminum parts, the whole engine came from smelted parts, the upholstery is plastic made from oil, there’s a whole wide range of big carbon footprint manufacturing methods use to make this behemoth.

    His Majesty’s Ship, the Hey Suckers! Wasn’t built there at the lake so it had to be brought in by diesel truck.

    Shouldn’t Lord Al be setting an example by shedding himself of materialistic things?
    I’m sure he could afford a really nice tent and servants could still run his bath, shop for him and he could surely afford a tin, kerosene heater.

    If we’re going to save the planet he better get on the stick and show us the way, hadn’t he?

    Somehow I don’t don’t think he will.

    I am not a boating expert, but from expierence I burn about 1 gallon of gas using 1 cyl. 13 HP riding lawnmower to mow our 3/4 acre lawn, which takes about an hour.

    Also we have portable gas generator for when we loose power. It puts out 30 amps and from that picture it appears that al’s boat has two power supplies. I know that generator can burn approx. 3/4 gallon of fuel an hour at full load. Their is not way that boat can cruise around the lake for an hour and use 2 gallons of fuel.
